   We enjoyed a delicious meal and outstanding service. Loved the scallops a la plancha, the salad special with baby octopus and braised short ribs with roasted veggies. We'll be back!

   We chose to sit at the bar so that sharing dishes would be easier. Our bartender was very attentive and his mezcal spicy margarita was delicious. Prior to placing orders we checked out the sizes of dinners that were being brought to other diners and noticed that even the half sized portions were quite large so we limited our choices to the tapas menu and split a couple of those. The pork belly and the small octopus tapas were delicious! Unless you’re ravenously hungry, stick to the tapas menu. Overall, a good experience here.

   The entrées were amazing both the duck and ribs would go back to have both. The appetizers were over cooked we had the octopus and calamari, the octopus needed salt. We also tried the tomato bread which was over salted. Given how well they cooked the entrees we will give them another shot.

   In general, the food was good, although the torta jamon was not; it was salty and did not have a good taste. Also, the flan was meh. The cataplana moritz was very good, but only one piece of bread for all that broth??? The huevos cabreados was great. The best thing about the place was the waitstaff. Excellent service all around.

   This was our first visit to Otra. We had been enticed by the restaurant week menu and decided to give it a try. The Tapas menu had several items we were interested in. The waiter suggested the pork belly with a tomato chutney, which was amazing. We went with the restaurant week menu and enjoyed every dish offered but if we had to pick a favorite, the Otra Crispy chicken with mushroom sauce was delicious , served with a side of mixed greens tossed in a Madeira wine and fresh shallot viniagrette. For dessert, the Otra flan and Pot de Crème (chocolate custard) was light and paired with unsweetened whip cream which was perfect balance so the sweetness of the dessert. We look forward to exploring the Tapas menu more in depth next time.

   I love their small dishes, they always have a great wine selection and the spicy mezcal margarita the best I have had yet! And off course thanks Jean for the great service

   Very disappointing. Had been a big fan of Otra and went there a number of times. Almost looked they were getting ready to go out of business. 1 wait person with one bartender doubling as a fill in wait person. Delays in bringing food by being short-staffed. Food was very good as always but disappointed in the entire experience.

   Restaurant service is over the top. Everything we have tried in our two visits was delicious. Can't wait for our third visit tonight.
